Don, We do not haul pets. Other than our rat dog.

I guess my poor little snakes will have to starve this winter, they are already eating each other.

My PC died this morning, bought a new one I'll pick up tomorrow, finally got out the old laptop. Nice weather today, nice tomorrow they say.

51 headed to 61, slept with the windows open again.

Randy, where did you go to buy a new PC? My kids computer crashed hard (seems we've totally lost the HDD) and I'm looking for a good deal.

Be well all.

Drinking hot coffee this cool morning. 35 degrees with clear skies this morning. Heading to 61 with more sun than we have seen recently. Wanted to change some tires yesterday. Floor jack died after 30 year of use. Tried to repair, But main piston seal is gone. Checked out HF for a new one. $69 for one similar to the one I have. But closest HF is over 30 miles away. Went to TSC. They had a similar jack for $79. Bought it. Saved over $10 in gas. I believe original floor jack cost over $200 in the late 70's. Be interesting to see if the $80 jack last as long. Going to get the tires changed out today.
Good Morning All.

Good morning! 60 and clear. I'm sore, but the compass rose is level, compacted and almost ready to lay. each large arrow will be 98 pavers and will require 66 cuts (arrow and attaching pavers). Picking the right color pavers will also be slow. This may be a over the winter project.

I put down an uncut arrow to get these estimates - see below. I'll take it up and add 1/2" more leveling sand and spacers, put it back down, string the cut lines and start to cut......by next week.

Looking good Don. May be coming your way in December this year. Maybe we can have a New Years Party putting down paver bricks.
Did you use Karen's Iphone to align compass?

Good morning TBNers!

It is actually sunny for a change here in Scotland, I cannot believe it.

The barometer is swaying towards "fine", we can but hope.

Have a good day all.

Why not just replace the hard drive? Tiger Direct and New Egg both have some nice deals.
Just make sure you have all the set up disks, passwords, etc.

Anyway:

46 and sunny right now. A high of 62 predicted. The ground is still pretty wet from the storms on Friday evening. I'm guessing about 2 more weeks before all the leaves are down.

42 and sunny here. Going to be 76 today and 80 the next three days.

deerseeker001 · Oct 21, 2012

its sunny for a change with a little fog and 31 and going up to 59 today.

Wet snow

this morning, well only a bit but prefer it up in the mountains.
Hope to get up to 50F with cloudy skys and some showers.

jmurray01 · Oct 21, 2012

Snow George!?

Goodness me, I didn't expect that.

About an hour ago I got the lawns cut for the last time this season, just have to prep the mower for winter storage before November comes and it gets too cold to run the mower (it needs to be warmed up to change the oil).

Lovely and sunny though, even a bit - dare I say, warm!!

At this point is just a few flurries but they are forecasting wet snow. It will be too warm for any of it to stick around for more than a few hours.
Wood store is on in the house and shop so all is good.
December 24th could be a better day to see some of this stuff.

Good morning. Sunny, low 40's with a high in the 60's. Gorgeous Fall day to just enjoy this time of year.

Have replaced HDD's in both a laptop and desktop and because I had made DVD's of the OS when the computers were new the process went pretty well. But with the cost of a new laptop or desktop today being less than $300 in many instances people just choose to buy a new one rather than go thru the process of repairing an older machine. We have had close to 5 inches of total rainfall this past week, today it is forecast to hit the middle 60's. Until it becomes warm enough to work outdoors I am doing the following things:

Preparing a huge crock pot meal of corned beef and cabbage.

Cleaning, drying, freezing, and storing the last of the green bell, red cayenne, and sweet/spicy mini bell peppers. This is the last of the pepper crop for this year. Oh--about the long cayenne peppers...all those in the picture came from one plant and there were at least a third more than that I gave away...the output those plants give is amazing.

jmurray01 · Oct 21, 2012

Those peppers look darn tasty Bill, congratulations on such a successful crop.

Good Morning All.

Just to add my :2cents:....... My closest TSC is 33 miles away, round trip costs about $12.00. My brother lives "close" to a HF store 9 miles or so. Round trip about $4.00. We usually go for a "shopping" trip when we visit there.

HF flat rate shipping is $6.99- If I am able to wait for delivery and they have what I want/need, it really plays a factor in my purchase decision. Although the on-line prices are a couple of bucks higher, There are almost always coupons you can get hold of to make a difference as well. Unless it is something that has a freight fee added on, it and I don't need it quick, that's the way I go.

Recent example: I ordered a Farm Jack, used a 20% off coupon and the total shipped was 46.98. If I had gone to TSC, cost including gas would have been about $72.00.

....Oh yeah- 1130: 52 degrees and cloudy with expected rain.....should be out doing chores now and not playing around on TBN

Thanks...the red/green ones on the freezer top are the half the harvest from two, I either consumed or gave away the other half earlier this season...as for the green bell peppers in the carrier...must have harvested well over 230 from 15 plants this year. Most of them were given away. I will cut, wash, and tray freeze the bigger peppers then bag them for long term freezer storage, the cayennes get washed and strung on a cord like Xmas lights.
